Farhan tweets up a MARD storm, vows to spread awareness against gender inequality and rape through social media

After Amitabh Bachchan's support to Breakthrough's campaign- One Million Men, One Million Promises, it's actor-director Farhan Akhtar's turn to do something good for the society.

The 39-year-old has vowed to spread awareness against gender inequality and rape through social media.

His initiative M. A. R. D which stands for 'Men Against Rape and Discrimination' has been trending on Twitter since its inception. The actor was spotted performing at a college concert in Bangalore wearing a t-shirt with the M.A.R.D logoBollywood stars such as Priyanka Chopra, Arjun Rampal, Sonam Kapoor and Shabana Azmi have been actively retweeting Akhtar's posts that talk about the real meaning of men.

Farhan was also spotted performing at a college concert in Bangalore wearing a t-shirt with the M.A.R.D logo.

The brutal gang rape of a paramedical student in the Capital on December 16 has forced many to raise their voice against such violence.
Here are a few tweets that were posted by the actor:

If you are a man who respects women... her rights, her dignity, her independence, her mind, her body, her life... you are a #MARD.
